Zombies have been a pretty important part of gaming, a lot of great games have zombies in them. From Resident Evil on PS1 to Dead Rising 3 for our next gen systems, Zombies have been a big part of our gaming lives for a long long time. However, it's starting to get to the point where I'm sick of seeing the fucking things. I DARE you to go on Steam and count the number of cheap indie games that are about zombies, the number is fucking staggering.
I refuse to believe that there is a single developer around right now who could do something new or interesting with zombies. I'm not saying that developers aren't talented enough or anything like that, but there's only so much you can do with a zombie. Make em slow, make em fast, make 'em transform in the night time etc etc. it's all been done multiple times.
There's so many fucking zombie games that if I wanted to do a special blog segment on games with zombies in it, I could take about a different title every day for over a year EASILY. There are A LOT of fucking goddamn zombie games and it's now gotten to the point where whenever I see one I just roll my eyes.
I think the games industry needs some kind of new fixation to make games about. There are plenty of other things that one could make a game about that are way more interesting than zombies. There are so many countries that have really cool and interesting folk tales about various monsters and things that go bump in the night that would make for a really cool game idea.
So drop the zombies and use your imagination a bit will ya?
